She has a dog named Sammy and a dog named Sophie, but because she is allergic to canine saliva (as revealed in an interview with Fanlala) she has to be careful when her dogs try to lick her because if they do it could give her a rash.

Victoria is also allergic to dust mites.

Victoria attended a fan's Build-A-Bear birthday party.

The song the cast sings in the episode Locked Up!, "I Want You Back" by The Jackson Five, is one of her most favorite songs of all time.

The day that the last episode of Victorious aired, Victoria wrote an open letter thanking the fans for their support, and confirms the cast wanted a propal ending. So she wrote how would have ended according to her.
